Verse 2.57
Verse 2.57: “He, who encountering diverse good as well as evil things, feels no attachment towards anything, and neither rejoices (in the one), nor loathes (the other,) his Discernment is (really) perfectly-poised. (297)
Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
He behaves evenly with all, like the full (moon-day) moon that gives light equally both to the virtuous or to the evil-doers: his unfailing equality towards all knows no distinction whatever. He is ever kind to all beings, never making any distinction. He never rejoices at the acquisition of good nor loathes untoward things. Such a one, O Arjuna, who is free from joy and sorrow and ever full with the Bliss of the Self is Sthitabuddhi.
